Biodiesel supplier Prestige Fuels UK has invested £1 million to construct seven blending stations across the UK. The company anticipates the creation of 50 new jobs with this investment, The Star reported.
The first of these stations is undergoing construction at Prestige Fuels’ headquarters in Dinnington. The station will have a production capacity of up to 200 million liters of blended biodiesel and petroleum diesel, which contains from 10% to 95% biodiesel.
The company also entered into exclusive supply contracts with two EN14214 biodiesel producers in the UK that use sustainable sources, such as used vegetable oil, to produce 35 million liters of biodiesel annually. Prestige Fuels would also have links to other European biodiesel producers, from which the company can source a total of 300 million liters per year.
According to Eddie O’Reilly, Managing Director of Prestige Fuels, the company needed to adopt a different approach to its sales and supply strategy in order to strengthen its position in the market. Instead of being a straightforward commodity supplier, Prestige Fuels now offers consultative agreements with its customers. The company also boasts of the high blending quality of its fully-automated, high-velocity vortex, multi-ratio fuel blending facility.
“We can now confidently say that by using EN14214 standard bio-diesel, blended correctly under high velocity, companies can become greener, reduce carbon emissions and key to all businesses save considerable sums of money in some cases up to 8p per litre off their current spend,” he added.
Prestige Fuels UK Limited is a wholesale distributor of biodiesel, which is produced to EN14214 standard. The company’s warehouse in Sheffield, South Yorkshire can hold up to 200,000 liters of biodiesel.
